This presentation reviews common lung complications after bone marrow transplant or CAR T-cell therapy, including BOS, organizing pneumonia, bronchiectasis, and restrictive lung disease. It also covers early diagnosis, pulmonary function testing, new imaging and treatment options, and ways to help preserve lung function and quality of life.

A bone marrow or stem cell transplant can affect the lungs in many ways. This presentation discusses specific lung complications associated with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) of the lungs, their symptoms, and treatment options.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication after a transplant using donor stem cells (allogeneic transplant) that target many organs, including the lungs. Learn who’s at risk of developing chronic GVHD in the lungs, how it affects breathing and therapies available to treat it.

Stem cell transplant recipients may develop pulmonary complications after transplant. Some, like bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) can severely restrict breathing. This presentation describes the symptoms and treatments for these complications with particular attention to bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.

People may experience a variety of lung problems in the first several years after transplant. This presentation describes both rare and common lung problems and the available remedies to treat them.
